Chapter 90 All Good Things Must Come to an End

Ouyang Jinying put down the teacup, looked at Shen Qiu with burning eyes, and said directly, "Boss Shen, are you willing to work for Dachuan?"

Shen Qiu's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, this was the empress's real purpose.

He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "I wonder what effect your majesty means?"

Ouyang Jinying did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I hope that Boss Shen can go to the northern border and open up a trade route for Dachuan."

"Northern Xinjiang?"

Shen Qiu frowned slightly, "Your Majesty also knows that the bitter cold land of the northern border, where wars are rampant all year round, is not a good place to go."

Ouyang Jinying naturally knew what Shen Qiu was worried about. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss Shen. As long as you are willing to go, I will naturally send troops to protect your safety. At the same time, I can provide any support you need."

"Oh, any support?"

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Shen Qiu's eyes.

Ouyang Jinying nodded confidently, "As long as it is a request from Boss Shen, I will do my best to meet it."

Shen Qiu pondered for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. After a while, he slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, you know that I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to guard this Fanlou, make a little money, and live a stable life. The northern border is a place full of fighting and killing, which is really not suitable for me."

Ouyang Jinying frowned slightly, as if she had expected Shen Qiu's rejection.

But she was not angry, instead she asked patiently: "What do you think Boss Shen wants?"

Shen Qiu's eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind. He pretended to be silent and said, "Your Majesty, I think that instead of letting me take risks in the northern border, it is better to change my thinking."

"Oh, what do you think, Boss Shen?" Empress Ouyang Jinying asked with interest.

"I can provide the supply. Your Majesty, you just need to send people to the northern border to sell these newfangled gadgets. Wouldn't you be able to make a huge profit?" Shen Qiu said slowly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"acting?"

After thinking about it, Ouyang Jinying instantly understood what Shen Qiu meant.

"Yes, the agent."

Shen Qiu snapped his fingers and said, "How about I provide the supply and Your Majesty recruit a group of merchants to sell locally?"

After listening, Ouyang Jinying fell silent. Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of Shen Qiu's proposal.

"Boss Shen, are you sure you can provide enough supply?" Ouyang Jinying asked after a long while.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I don't have much else in Fanlou, but I have a lot of weird and strange things."

Shen Qiu said confidently: "As long as Your Majesty can open up the market, I promise that we can have as much as you want."

Ouyang Jinying fell into deep thought again. Shen Qiu did not urge her. He just quietly sipped the tea and waited for her decision.

The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn for a moment.

Ouyang Jinying was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons. After a long while, she slowly said, "Okay, I promise you, but Boss Shen must guarantee that Fanlou has sufficient supply and fair prices, and that inferior goods are not allowed to be sold as good ones, or drive up prices."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I guarantee with my life that I will never break my promise!"

Shen Qiu patted his chest and assured, but he was muttering in his heart: "With Tongzi here, why should I worry about running out of goods?"

"In that case, I'll do as Boss Shen said. I will send someone to contact you to discuss the specific matters." In the end, Ouyang Jinying agreed to Shen Qiu's proposal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Qiu felt relieved and quickly stood up to express his gratitude.

After seeing Ouyang Jinying off, Shen Qiu returned to his room, collapsed on the chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Oh, this girl is hard to serve!"

Shen Qiu thought to himself: "Fortunately, I am very smart, otherwise I would have been tricked by this girl today."

……

After the rebellion of Marquis Dingbei was quelled, Tianhuang City seemed to have returned to its former prosperity and bustle.

Fanlou, the most peculiar den of money in this city, once again welcomed an endless stream of guests.

However, in Shen Qiu's eyes, all of this seemed to become a little boring.

"Ding, today's sign-in is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random skill: Cat-stroking Technique (Master Level)."

"What's the use of this thing? Am I going to use it to pet that Shadowy Howling Moon Tiger?" Shen Qiu complained in his heart.

At this time, Qingluan and the other girls came in. "Master, we are going to retreat for a while." Qingluan said calmly.

"Retreat, wasn't it last time?" Shen Qiu was a little surprised and asked puzzled.

"Last time when Marquis Dingbei rebelled, the four of us sisters did not have time to break through to the Martial Honored Realm. Now, after taking the Yuehua Baoyue gifted by the Lord, our cultivation has reached the brink of a breakthrough." Hongluan explained.

"So that's it." After listening, Shen Qiu suddenly realized.

"Then you can just rest assured and retreat. I'll be here at Fanlou."

Shen Qiu waved his hand, signaling them not to worry.

The four girls didn't say much. After bowing respectfully, they left the room.

……

Three days later, four powerful auras burst out from the Fan Building, instantly shaking the entire Tianhuang City.

"I've made a breakthrough. This Moonlight Pill is really powerful!"

Shen Qiu stood up and walked to the window, only to see four graceful figures rising into the sky. The powerful pressure made the air around them heavy. Fortunately, he had a passive skill and unparalleled defense.

Qingluan, Hongluan, Sangsang and Yunshang stood in the air, their aura several times stronger than before.

"Congratulations to the four sisters, congratulations to the four sisters!"

Zhaoyue and the other five girls immediately surrounded him, chattering non-stop, their words filled with joy and envy.

Shen Qiu looked back and forth at the four girls, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After breaking through to the Martial Lord level, the four girls' appearance and temperament reached a new level, especially Qingluan. Her already cold and beautiful face now looked even more heroic, making people dare not look directly at her.

"My Lord, why are you looking at us like that?"

Qingluan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Shen Qiu, her pretty face slightly reddened, and she asked softly.

"Ahem, it's nothing. I was just admiring... admiring your heroic appearance after your breakthrough."

Shen Qiu quickly withdrew his gaze and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"Master, you are making fun of us again." Sangsang said coquettishly, but there was a hint of sweetness in her tone.

"Haha, alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Shen Qiu laughed, "Let's go upstairs today and celebrate."

So Shen Qiu waved his hand and took the nine beautiful women to the top floor of the mortal building, which was a luxurious room that belonged to him alone.

Just as everyone was drinking and talking happily, a maid walked up to Shen Qiu and reported in a low voice: "Boss Shen, Master Xie wants to see you. He said he has something important to tell you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie?"

Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, then reacted, "But it's the disciple of the chess master, Xie Liuliang?"

"That's right." The maid replied respectfully.

"Please!"

Shen Qiu said quickly, but was secretly wondering in his heart, Xie Liuliang has always been low-key, why did he suddenly visit today? Is there something urgent?

Soon, Xie Liuliang, led by the maid, came to the top floor room.

He was wearing a blue shirt today, looking particularly handsome and tall.

"Boss Shen, sorry to bother you." Xie Liuliang bowed slightly and saluted to Shen Qiu.

"Thank you for your courtesy, Sir. Please take a seat."

Shen Qiu quickly stood up to greet him, "I wonder what brings you here today?"

"Boss Shen, to be honest, my master and I will leave Tianhuang City early tomorrow morning and return to Fengping County." Xie Liuliang said.

"What, you're leaving so soon?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was shocked, "But you are not used to living in Fanlou?"
